ytmp3-dl | Python script for multi-threaded download | Download Utils library

The builds of this program is available for 64-bit versions of Linux and Windows Operating Systems (macOS users can download the source code and build it by themselves, see build instructions). These build does not require one to have python (and even ffmpeg) installed. You can download them from here. [-base-]: Base Version This version does not includes ffmpeg binaries, and relies on ffmpeg which is already installed in the user's Operating System. (Download & Install ffmpeg). [-essentials-]: Essentials Version This version comes with compatible ffmpeg binaries, and does not relies on ffmpeg being installed on the Operating System. (i.e. If you don't want to go with the hassel of downloading, installing, setting PATH for ffmpeg, then go with this version.).
You can build ytmp3-dl for your specific system. Check out entire Building section to build your version of ytmp3-dl and how to use it more effectively. To build ytmp3-dl for your system follow these instructions : Prerequisites : (currently tested with these configs only, earlier versions may work too, but no guarantees ;__;). Personal Build Usage Since you have build your own ytmp3-dl binary for your system, it is also required to have ffmpeg installed in your system by your OS's package manager (i.e.: sudo pacman -S ffmpeg for Arch Linux and so on, check for your specific OS). Otherwise you could download the ffmpeg binary from here and set it to $PATH (check: How to set $PATH for Linux, MacOS & Windows ).

python >=3.9
pip >=21.2.4
pyinstaller >=4.7
Inside the project directory, initialise venv, activate it and ensure pip : $ python -m venv env $ . ./env/bin/activate $ python -m ensurepip
Install pyinstaller $ pip install pyinstaller
Install ytmp3-dl dependencies : $ pip install -r requirements.txt
After building finishes, the actual executable will be at dist/ directory. You can always export the ytmp3-dl binary path to your shell. Or can make an alias for your shell. (check on setting $PATH, inside Personal Build Usage below) # inside .bashrc can either of the following lines # exporting to PATH export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ytmp3-dl/directory/ # OR, setting alias alias ytmp3='/exact/path/to/ytmp3-dl'
You can also Copy-Paste the ytmp3-dl binary from dist/ after building to ~/.local/bin/ directory, and make sure you have this directory exported to your shell's $PATH variable (i.e export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin).
